Vivaldi 5.1 - they just introduced the ability to slide the tab bar left and right instead of making tabs smaller - a feature that Firefox has. I asked a long time ago to add this feature in the Opera settings. It would make it much easier for many, my example:

I forgot, they also added it in Chrome last year, as I remember! so Opera is behind

@adam1709 There is a flag to enable it Opera since a few builds ago but since it's disabled by default, it probably still in development.

Enabling it here doesn't seem to make any difference, so maybe it's still not working or it needs something to trigger the feature.

@leocg Thanks for the info, I hope there will be something more specific about it

@adam1709: Enable this flag: opera://flags/#scrollable-tab-strip
It doesn't work like Vivaldi, but it's a start.

When I have a private window open (in the background or minimized) and download something in my main Opera window (with about 60 tabs open), that download doesn't show up in that main window's downloads list, it shows up in the private window's downloads list.

Deleting #fast-tab-tooltip акщь 84 was a big mistake, you need to return the option.

@evgeny1973 Once a feature is enabled by default in stable channel, the experiment ends and its flag is removed.

@leocg: Ok, how i can disable these tooltips? They interfere, why did they make them at all? Maybe some option appeared in the settings?

@evgeny1973 you can't. There were multiple suggestions/complaints to make the feature optional in Settings or make the list expandable/collapsible.

Both were ignored.

See if some of the information is hidden on the page. Why do I need information about a tab if this tab is open next to it??

Why not make, like the others, an arrow in which there will be tabs that do not fit?

@evgeny1973 the idea of the feature is to show tabs from the same domain when you hover a tab.

@andrew84 So what's the problem if the user can disable/enable this feature?

[evgeny1973]

@andrew84 And secondly, how many tabs does a user open per domain? 3? 5? Is it worth all this fuss to show an arrow with 5 tabs?

@evgeny1973 you should ask Opera team.
